Intro | | % | verse 1 I’ve seen love go by my door Never been this close before Never seemed so easy or so slow I been shootin’ in the dark too long When something’s not right it must be wrong You’re gonna make me lonesome when you go verse 2 Dragon clouds so high above I’ve only known careless love An’it always has hit me from below But this time round it’s more correct Right on target so direct You’re gonna make me lonesome when you go verse 3 Purple clover Queen Anne lace Crimson hair across your face You could make me cry if you don’t know Can’t remember what I was thinking of You might be spoiling me too much love You’re gonna make me lonesome when you go Middle 8 Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme Blue river running slow and lazy I could stay with you forever and never realise the time verse 4 Situations have ended sad Relationships have all been bad Mine have been like Verlaine’s and Rimbaud But there is no way I can compare All them scenes to this affair You’re gonna make me lonesome when you go Middle 8 You’re gonna make me wonder what I’m doing Staying far behind without you You’re gonna make me wonder what I’m saying You’re gonna make me give myself a good talking to Verse 5 I’ll look for you in old Honolula San Francisco Ashtabula You’re gonna have to leave me now I know But I’ll see you in the sky above In the tall grass in the ones I love You’re gonna make me lonesome when you go Outro harp |    | | | | |    | |      | | |    | | | | |    | |      | | |    | | | | |    | |      | |

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les sentiments de mélancolie et de solitude que l'on ressent lorsque quelqu'un de cher s'éloigne. Elle parle d'une expérience amoureuse profonde, où tout semble juste et parfait, mais l'ombre de la séparation plane. Les images poétiques décrivent la beauté de l'instant présent tout en laissant entrevoir la douleur à venir. Le narrateur se rend compte que chaque moment passé avec cette personne le rend plus vulnérable, et il anticipe déjà la solitude qui suivra son départ. C'est une réflexion sur l'amour, la perte et la vulnérabilité qui nous habite lorsque l’on s’attache profondément à quelqu'un.
